The pug on the chair is priceless! And I so badly want those shoes .... So envious of you being in Paris, though it looks every bit as chilly as London right now. Hope you've managed to catch up on sleep!

Still winter there, eh? Well, it's still Paris, anyway! I wouldn't mind winter in Paris. It all looks great, Carol. Love that light over your roses in that image, and I love the red/white striped towel! Vermeer light. Have fun!!

I'm sick!!! How flippin civilized is that?????Macaroon day??????God for them!!!! Abd all for a good cause..... Oh checnk ou my blog I told you I was fixing... Let me know what you think, you won't have your reading issues anymore I don't think......Maryanne xo

THE SHOES are at Sevre-Babylon almost next to the new Hermes. I would get them now that you point them out, but 150 EUROS!OUCH non? Perfect for a wedding in Texas?Maybe I'll trade in the ticket for the ballerinas...Hmmmm

I can imagine the chilly weather in Paris at this time of the year. About a decade ago, I took a trip to Paris at the end of April and I still froze my behind off! The only thing that kept my mother and I from certain doom was the use of warm scarves. It's still amazing to me how much warmer you can feel even with a light jacket if you are protecting your neck. I still loved the trip and I've been looking forward to returning in the next year or so. I read your blog nearly every day and dream about my return trip.

We are coming to Paris, March 30-April 1. Then we go on to Provence. It will be our 3rd time in Paris and we love it. We have always come in September before so I am a little afraid it is going to be cold. I have been watching your pictures and people do seem to have on coats. I am waiting for the ten day forecast to decide if I need to bring my leather coat. I hate being cold. Are Parisians still wearing boots, mostly dark colors coats and scarfs? I know I will stick out like a tourist anyway I dress but the coat thing is bothering me. We will be walking at night too so I was afraid 50's and 40's sound like coat weather to me. As I type from my back porch in Alabama I am wearing short sleeves, crop pants and flip flops. It is 84 degrees and a beautiful spring day and my garden is delicious with beautiful shades of azaleas opening and dogwood trees blooming.Bonnie

I know that you are gallivanting about Paris these days, but I am not sure that you knew about Macaron Day in NYC (March 20). Here is the link, if you get this in time! Have a wonderful trip! I especially love your posts from France.

Great photos. I like the way you did a double hit with the opening shots of the dog.It looks gray and nippy but, hey, it's Paris!Love those flowers on the table and the Spring clothes in the shop windows, too.Have fun!
